Renowned fitness star Richard Simmons was laid to rest in his workout outfit beneath his regular clothes. This revelation was made by his brother, Lenny Simmons, during Richard’s celebration of life event in New Orleans. Lenny shared that Richard was wearing a tank top and shorts because they believe God has another plan for him and want him to be in his familiar exercise attire to help the saints and angels stay fit. Richard passed away at the age of 76 on July 13 due to complications from falls and heart disease. His private funeral was held in Los Angeles on July 19, where he was buried at Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park and Mortuary. Lenny urged people to remember Richard for the joy and love he brought into their lives, rather than being sad about his passing. However, controversy surrounds Richard’s estate as his longtime housekeeper, Teresa Reveles Muro, is fighting to become a co-trustee with Lenny, claiming she was manipulated into turning down the position in the days following Richard’s death. Despite the legal battles, both Lenny and Reveles Muro have expressed their deep love and respect for Richard Simmons and his impact on people’s lives.
